We’re proud to celebrate progress that matters. 💙

Infant mortality rates are at their lowest level in the past decade, thanks to strong collaboration and community commitment. While there’s more work ahead, this milestone shows our efforts are making a real difference.

The Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Giving Tree at the Indianapolis Zoo Gift Shop made the holidays extra special this year! From November through January 1, generous guests donated hundreds of toys for pediatric patients. With Santa himself delivering the gifts, many young patients experienced a little extra joy this holiday season. Thank you to everyone who helped make spirits bright!

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to EAJ - Evansville Area Jeepers for stepping up during the worst of the winter storm to help our associates get to work safely.

With 57 volunteers working around the clock, they made sure healthcare heroes from across the region could reach our hospitals and continue caring for patients when it mattered most.

We are incredibly grateful for partners like this who show up in times of need. Snow or ice, St. Vincent remains here 24/7 for those who need us, and support like this helps make that possible. 💙

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His words continue to challenge and inspire us to look beyond ourselves and care for one another, especially those who are most vulnerable.

Eliana has been working so hard with her team at the feeding clinic!

Before her most recent visit, meals were taking over an hour, she was eating very little, and she needed to use her feeding tube after every meal.

But look at her now! She is eating a variety of pureed table foods, meals take no more than 25 minutes, and she doesn't rely on her feeding tube.

Good Job, Eliana!🌟

Traveling with a little one this holiday season? 🚗✈️

Whether you’re staying with family or at a hotel, maintaining safe sleep habits is the best gift you can give your baby.

Natalie Wilzbacher, a Pediatric Nurse Educator at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Evansville, reminds us that while the environment changes, the ABC’s of Safe Sleep stay the same:

Alone: Your baby needs their own sleep space, free from blankets or pillows.
Back: Always place them on their back for every nap and night.
Crib: Use a firm, flat surface like a crib, bassinet, or portable playard.

Check out the full article for pro tips on creative (but safe!) travel solutions and what items to avoid while on the road.
